WHOLESALEHARDWARETRADE Many Omaha Retail Dealers Who Buy Tk 8took in tie East, WHERE JOBBERS SELL THEIR GOODS. What Local Jobbers Are Doing for the City and What the City Ought Do for the bers. to Jobe- For soveral weeks Tne Brr has been call- Ing attention to the fact that the only way to build up a {eity and develop the of the state s by koeping in the wost the money that naturaily belongs here. To do this the people havo urged to patronize home factories and the great improvemnent in the manufacturing industries of thoe city is a positive proof tuat home patrouageis a suc cess. At the request of several Omaha business men it is nov call attention to tho jobbing trade and point out what the what might do for the cit the city ought to do for the jobbers. articlos will devoted to this subject differont lines being taken up tely, commencing with the hardware business. In spito of the fact that Omaha is proud of her jobbing houses, which compare favor- anly with those of any city in the country, she does very littie for them, Omaha has th argo firms handling sholf hardware and two in the heavy ware business. and_yet not to exeed one-half of the goods in their lines used by the people of Omauha come through their hands, There 18 u feeling among the retail trade that they belittlo themselves by purchasiog their sup- piics of local jobbers and that, in order to ap ar of consequence in the eyes of constume they must be ablo to say, *I bought this i tho enst.” They also appear to think that by acknowledging that thoir goods came through a local jobbing house, they will give the consumer thoe impression’ that the cost more than bad thoy been purchased farther east I heard a zood story ing this fecling that sen prominent praposed to rs lave already done and whit pral jobl v and Se they be separ ods the otherday illustrat- xists among tho retail trade. A local jobber sold n retail dealer a samplo stove with tho idea that he might bo ablo to introduce it ar.ong his customers. 1t bappened in the course of a day or two that tho mother of this jobber chanced into tao retail storo in question and was very much taken with the pattern of the stove. The dealerexplained its goodquali- ties and remarked tnat it was manufactured in Micbigun, but that he bought it throu a Chicago nouse and that he had a full stock of all sizos down at his warehouse. He cv dentiy believed that his standing with his customer would have been low had ho told the truth that the stove was purchased from an Omaba jobbor and that he could get any size she might wish from the samo source. . “'here must be some acason for this feel- ing among the retail dealers of Omaha and & careful inquiry will bring out the fact that public sentimént has encouraged it and th dealers will not change until the public sent ment changes. When tho peoplo will loo upon au article that has been handied by Owaha men, through an_ Omaha house, as of equal value to the snme article that has come through a Chicago or St. 1L.outs house the retail dealer will not be ashamed to that he buys at home. Thero i3 a certain mystery or glamor surrounding an article coming from a distanco that enhances its valuo in the oyes of man people. It is for this renson that goods ar 50 often represented as imported from foreien countries when they are not, ana as some special hooor is supposed to attend the pur- chase of goods at a great distance some smull_dealers frequently cluim to have im- ported cortain articles when they really pur- chused them of a jobber who bought from tho importer. ‘Ihis public sentiment, is wrong and peoplo ought to place more value on tho articlos which bear the stawp of their own house, and which have come through tho hands of their frienas and neighbors. The sooner public sentiment changes to “howo' the sooner their home interests will improve. A local jobber recently called at an Omaha blacksmith shop, whose proprictor has asked and veceived largo favors from the people of Omaha, and quoted prices on horse shoes, “You are not in it,” said the smith, I can buy w St. Louis % cents per ke less th you quote.”” Tho jobber callod his atten to the fact that freight and cartage, ote. from St. Louis would cost ts, which made the Omana prico 10 con lower, but he did not get tho order. It wus not a question of price, it was simply a ques- tion of buying away from home. That blick- smith does not get horses from St. Louis to shoe and he has no right to send to St. Louis the money which the owncrs of Omaba horses give him. Ho is simply roboing nis own city. Itisthe samo m every branch of the hardw#re trade—a great many of the re tuil dealers feel that they must go away from home to buy in order to keep their standing with tho consumers, One can see at o glance under what disad vautages this plzces tho Omaba jobbers so far as the local trade is concerned. ~ They ar uot only compelled to meet eastern compe tion in the matter of prices, but they must then overcome the repugnance of the dealor to home oods. “Tho most trade the busine: that jobbers They unsatisfactory we nave’ s the way speak of their Omaha place their brigutest men in Omaha and even then have hard work to make esough out of the trade to pay thewr salarios. Said one jobber: “We took our best traveling man off the road and vut him onto the Omaba trade, but he could do no better, showing that the fault does not vost with our solicitors.” Said another jobber: “We have sometimes folt like giving up the Omuha trade entirely.” It must be confessed that there has been some change for the better during the past two years and local dealers seom a littie mor tuclined to buy in Omaba than thev did at one time, but thero ovght to be a still greater chance, It is really to the advantage of rotailers to buy at home. In tho fiest place local jobbers will meet tho prices of any other city. They will doliver tho goods at’ the door without any chawgo for cartage, can deliver tho goods the same day that they are ordered, thus saving the often voxatious delays consequent upon buying goods at a distanco. This enables the retailer to ao business with a smalier stock and conse- quently on less capital. In other words, by buying at homo tho retailer compels the job- ber to carry his stock for him. Iustead of bo- g compelled to anticipate kis wants sovoral weeks aliead he can replenish bis stock from day 1o day us ho requires it. T'he vetuil dealer can gain many advantages by purchasing at home, und sinco consuuiers have taken such an interest in bomo patronage that they are giving the preference to Neb- raska mado goods, ho will loso nothing by making 1t known that he too belicves in pat- ronizing home institutions, Tho retail dealers all through the state, in the largo and small towns alike, are gIving tho proference to Nebraska job. bers — becauso they are sharp enough tosce that by so doing thoy aro keeping more men and more monoy in the state. Even Lincoln does more for Omaha jobbers in proportion to ber population than Omaha, be- causo Lincoln retailors wonld vather see tholr money in Omaha, whero it will find its way out through the state zguin, than to see it in the banes of eastern capitalists, or banks, where it will romain unless borrowed by some Nebraskau at a high rate of interest, It is sometimes said that the stato “at large is against Omaba and it may be partially true 1 politics, but whon it comes to business Omaba has nothing to fear from the state which is her best support. The only thiug that Omabia hus reason to be alarwed at is ber own business men In New York thore arca fol men who ouly eat, drink and wear that which bears the English stamp. The newspapers have dubbed them Anglomaniucs. In Omaba thero are many people who can only be sat- istiod with what comes from the cast; they are the castomaniacs of the west It may be urged in_defouse of tho retailers who buy iu the cast that the jobbers them. selyes havo to go to tho east for the bulk of their goods. ‘That is true, but if there is any profit fu the business, that remains in tho wost. Again, tho money which the job- bors pav out for help and in the way of taxes oF renis rewnains in the west. A jobber does not employ as many people s & faotory, iu proportion 10 the size of his - | business, but a glance at a fow fgures will show that the hardwaro jobbors of Omaha | aro by no menns an unimportant element in | contributing to the city's support. Tho threo sheif hardware firms, Rector & Wilhelmy company, Leo-Clarke-Andreesen Hardware company and the Omaha Hard- ware company, employ 105 people and dis to wages amounting to #100,100 an- nually ‘T'he Baum Iron company and W. J. Broach, who handle heavy hardware, employ thirty- three people with a yearly roll of 500, Thore are two firms handling stoves, the Great Western Stove company and the Duffy Trobridge Stove company, and though they do not properly come under the tead of har ware firms, the business is so similar that it can be fncluded. These two stove firms em- ploy nineteen peoplo and pay out in wages £20,400 per vear. T'tie total number of the above firms 7 | 8145,000. 'This does not include the men con- neeted with the different transfer companios that are employed in carting goods for these firms, But the mat people employed by and their r of employing men and pay- ing out wages is not all that the hardware jobbers are doing for Omaba, The joobors all oxpross themselves as in favor of buiiding | up Nebraska manufacturing industries and | soms of them at least are placing liberal ovders with locel manufacturers. ‘T'here is | one large tin factory in the city that depends 1 the jobbers entirely for its support, aud ¢ tin shops are helped out by ors' orders during the dull season. The jobbers also handle Omaha barbed wire and baskets and pack their goods in Omaha made boxes, and it is to be hoped that they have all their priuting donoe in Omaha, 1t must not be inferred from anything said above that the wholesale hardwire business Omaha s not in & prosperous condition, tho contrary is true. The volume of businese shows & most gratifying indrease ovor last year and trade is good in every part of their térritory except in Omaha. I learned from the order books locul jobbers are selling goods in Nobraska, South Dakota, Wyomiug, Colorado, Utah, Idaho and Bastern Washinetan ana Oregon, and Northern Kausas. In lines they even reach New Mexico and Iu v havo a splendid trade v that the somn Arizona, Towa th where tl meet the strongest competition from Chicago, I was shown one large order given by an Towa dealer, who came to Omabha, and after inquiring prices weat to Chicago and then camo back, and left his order here, with the declaration that Omaba could mot be beat. In Sioux City they have a good trade in such lines as are not carried by Sioux City jobbers, but none of them can_claim the honor of baving sold a Sioux City man anything that he could buy at home. I noted some large or- dors placed in southern Minnesota in_ terri- tory that could hardly be claimed by Omaha. T one unfamiliar with the buy-goods-in- the-east cruze prevailing among Omaha busi- ness men it would seem strange that local jobbors can sell goods 10 Chicago's territory in spite of the close competition from that point and not be avle to supply over 50 per 0t of the goods used in their own city. peaking about the stove trade, Donver claims to_have soven large wholesale stove houses against Omaha's two houses, For an explanation of this fact Omaha citizens can k themselves how many of the stoves they are using came through an Omuha wholesalo housc.

Business on the stock ex- change was lLight, but the tone at the end of the week was decidedly better. The anxie- ties associated with the recont bad financial outlook in Paris have allayed sines it became known that the Russian governmont had relioved the Fronch syndicato of £5,00 000 sterling of the Russian loan The syndicate will now dissolve _ after dividing a considerable amount of pro- fits, baving actually rosold the umssued stock to the Russian treasury ata price above their contract rate, though below the public issue prico. This transaction, by relievin: the syndicate of a lockup of cash amounting to £6,000,000, probubly prevented a crash in Paris. This chaige in the situation vapidly cheered up the markets, Although the position ou the continent is stiil bad, an immediate catastrophe is averted. Conse- quently operators are breathing more freely and uct with greater confidence. In the departmont of foreign securities after Wednesday, Russian s rose 21§ cent, Spanish und Portuguese bonds 11 cent, and Cuilians 5 per cent. These porary advances were, however, due to spec- ulative iufluonces. American rallway securities were inactive "l towards tho close of the weck when vusiness brightened up in this dopartment of the market_owing to the recovery in the de- vartment. Business vesterday was remark avly lively. The news of the prohibition of whiat exportation from Ltussia gave a fresh impetus to buying. On the street business was_ especially” active for o Saturday sud every kind closed at an advance, Tho week's variations in prices of American railway so- curities include the following incroases Wabash deoentures and Northern Pacific preferred 2 per ceut each; Atehison, 115 per cent: Wabash preferred, Irio ordinary and Norfolk & Western preferred, 1 per cent cach; Lake Shore, Louisvillo & Nashville, Now York, Pennsylvania & Ohio, first mort- gage and Union Pacific shares three-fourths of 1 por cent cach, Central Pacifiio shur Denver & Rio Grande com- common, New York, Ontaria & Wesrern, and Ohio & Mississippi ordinary oue half of 1 per cent each. Canadi: securities were dull, Grand Trunk of Canada first and third preferreds decreased 2 per cent on tho week. Mexican railway firsts show a gain for the week of 11 per'cent. Of the miscellaneous securities ‘Commercial Cable shares show another rise of 5 per cent, whilo Allsopps ®uined 2 per cent.

Referring to the statement of the St. Pecersbure Official Messenger, the National zette today savs: “The czar's government feels the need of counteracting the impros- sion gaining ground 1 Europe that an economic catastrophe is impending in Russi In the Messenger's ofiicial statement tho same sources of rovenue are twice placed vefore the reader ana the very nawe conclu- sion is drawn that no embarrassment will b expericrcod in Russia n raising the gold to y the interest of the debt abroad. The idea of a rapprochement between Russia and Germany throvgh financial help from our bourses is not tenablo. Until the Russian volicy undergoes a fundamental change Go many cannot assist Russia.” The National Gazette's article, which is understood to be semi-official, needlessly warns German 1nvestors against’ Russian se- curities. The small failures throughout Germany have not affected tho general situ- ation, A considerable transfer of deposits is taking place from private baaks to tho Reichs banlk, where depositors feel safer; but the RReichs bank doos not vay interest on doposits nor offer the facilities that private banks offer. Once confidence is fairly r stored business will resume its former co ditions. In the meantime the fact that the Reichis baule continues to discount liborally without raising the discount rate, whilo the rate 1 the open market is one-fourth of | por cent, helps to remove public fears.
